LAKEVILLE, MN –Velocity Fiber, a service provider of Internet, voice and data services, announced it has completed installation of Gigabit fiber broadband and data aggregation services for Imperial Plastics, an engineered plastic component supplier in Lakeville, Minn. This service will provide Imperial Plastics new-found broadband speeds and reliability at its main location in Lakeville, while integrating and connecting their new manufacturing facility in Mankato, MN.

“The solution Velocity presented was unique and cost-effective,” said Bob Peterson, IT Manager for Imperial Plastics. “Our Airlake facility has had limited technology services available for some time and it is refreshing to finally find a local company willing to invest in the infrastructure to bring next generation broadband technology to our business community. We believe Fiber will improve our operations productivity and efficiency, and give us the speeds and reliability unrivaled by the incumbent copper, coax and wifi technologies previously available. Velocity was extremely creative in how they interconnected our locations, integrating multiple legacy technologies with our Fiber connection, which should streamline processes and communications across our entire organization.”

“We’re ecstatic to have developed a relationship with Imperial Plastics, who will serve as our anchor customer for bringing fiber into the Lakeville Airlake Industrial Park. We’ve been exploring the area for almost five years now, and finally the right pieces of the puzzle have come together,” said Jim Hickle, president of Velocity Fiber. “This is going to be a very valuable technological improvement for Imperial Plastics. Fiber is the future for business communications, and early innovators like Imperial Plastics stand to really drive their business forward with this next generation technology. This will help to keep them ahead of their competition for years to come. Their neighbors are also major beneficiaries, as Imperial’s choice to be an early adopter will help fiber become more available and affordable for all businesses in the Airlake Industrial Park.”
